Eric Norwood OLB South Carolina #40

Ht: 6'1
Wt: 245
Strengths:
Highly productive collegiate player. Excellent strength. Experience at linebacker and defensive end. Excels as a pass rusher.
Weaknesses:
Classic defensive end/linebacker 'tweener. Height is below average. Instincts are marginal; at his best when he can pin his ears back and just get after the quarterback. Struggles in coverage.
Comments:
Norwood could be an impact player from day one as a pass rusher. However, he offers very little else. He's a liability against the run and when asked to drop back in coverage. He can contribute in select situations however, which gives him some value in the 3rd round. If he comes off the board any higher than that its a reach due to his lack of upside.
